I like mornings. i especially like mornings if i get up earlier than hubby and have a nice quiet house all to myself for a bit.
First i gotta climb onto that dreaded treadmill and do my mile to get the blood flowing and the sweat to dripping. yeah, just a mile.....but i come back a couple more times during the day and do more. i just don't want to do 3 miles all at once...that usually takes an hour and seems like too much time wasted.
Once i can crawl off the treadmill then me and my water bottle head for the computer. i HAVE to check with my blog friends to see if there is any excitement i might be missing. LOL just a bit of vicarious living.
My very favorite blog is Judy Laquidara...she is a hoot. she blogs about quilts....she has written 2 quilt books...go check her out on Amazon. she gives super great recipes and talks about her family. Sometimes i check on her twice a day. www.patchworktimes.com
Then i go check on Dawn Meehan. bless her heart...she has 6 children and a life full of ups and downs. she is an author, too. go check it out and get her books...there are 2 of them so far. she is very funny www.mom2my6pack.blogspot.com
Then there is Spuds..his name is Vic but everyone calls him Spuds. He is hilarious....he has 6 kids also. sometimes he has some thought provoking moments on his blog and sometimes you just laugh till you cry. his young twins would give a lesser person heart attacks. www.blirred-reality.blogspot.com
Since i am into demolition these days i have to check in with www.diydiva.net she is building a house and doing the work herself. along with a fulltime day job. there are lots of pictures and you learn a lot there. i am impressed.
And since i love thrift stores and yard sales i HAVE to check in with Sharon Henegar. she lives in California and shops garage sales on Saturdays and blogs about what she finds on Sunday. She always meets the cutest dogs and shows their pics and talks to some interesting people, too. mostly she blogs on Sundays but sometimes there is news during the week, also. but she is my regular Sunday stop....and she is an author, too...i have read her first book...it's a mystery...cool book. check her out. www.queenoffiftycents.blogspot.com

Another of my favorite blogs is www.thepioneerwoman.com She lives on a big ranch in OK, has 4 kids, home schools, does incredible photography, has written three books now including a best selling cookbook and her life before and after she met and married "Marlboro Man". Oh! And she has a basset hound named Charlie.
Patchwork Times was the first daily blog for me and has been for at least 5 years. I have been following you on a daily basic since your sister bought the Beast. I look for her blog at least once a week
